Lithology Comments

Feb 17, 2011 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of felsic metavolcanic tuffs and volcanoclastics. Mineralization lies at the contact between volcanic lapilli tuff and volcanoclastic metasedimentary rocks.

Mineralization Comments

Feb 17, 2011 (A Wilson) - The best assay was returned from a 0.8 m section of massive magnetite and surrounding breccia containing chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite. This interval returned 2.40% Cu and 1330 ppm Zn. Narrow quartz rich zones up to 2 m in width returned assays up to 2150 ppm Zn.
